This is a close-up of mamma's eye and the remorras. The remorras clean the whale's skin.

Sweetpea and momma--can you see momma's eye and the remorras on the baby?

Sweetpea would often swim between momma's pectoral fins and rest there. Sometimes momma would pull her pec fins in to hug her baby (yes, we can here the aaahs).

Sweetpea and Momma--the baby would never go very far from momma's side.

We have had numerous requests to postsome of our pics from our encounter with a new-born and mama humpback whales. This photo is of baby and moma head on--which way should the photogragher go to get out of the way?

This is the baby whale, whom we named Sweetpea.
